Deborah Mosley lives in the Five Points West neighborhood and said the old library has become an eyesore.

"It, kind of, makes the neighborhood look bad, because it's, kind of, like a spot where they can litter and hide out,” Mosley said.

The city of Birmingham is currently working on a plan to sell the building for $25,000 to Five Points West Developers, LLC. Under the purchase agreement, the developer would turn the old library into office space.

Five Points West resident Rufus White said he’s excited for the plans and would like to see other buildings in the area redeveloped.

"We need a couple more buildings around here to be cleaned up and fixed up, and it would be nice if the city would do that,” White said.

The Birmingham City Council will vote on the purchase agreement for the old library at Tuesday’s meeting.
